Even the name Kaitui - which means "tailor' in Maori - gives a more than clear indication of the style of this Palatinate Sauvignon Blanc. Markus Schneider's role models are not in the Loire, but clearly in New Zealand. The grapes come from cool limestone plots, supplemented by a few warmer sites. The result is a deeply flavoured white wine with plenty of pressure, fresh acidity and a deep mineral backbone. Above all, however, with a whole basket full of expressive fruit: spiky and blackcurrant, kiwi and passion fruit, green apple and grapefruit. Pese Wein recommends trying it with a green Thai curry or simply with grilled fennel or asparagus.

Markus Schneider was just 19 when the first vintage in 1994 appeared with his name on the label. Since then, he has expanded the originally paternal winery in Ellerstadt from a 1 ha to 92 ha vineyard, established his own path as a "young savage" with creativity and courage, and positioned his wines as internationally successful brands to this day.
